The girl can go back to Pakistan after General Ziya-ul-Haq dies in a plane crash. She
was greeted by three million people at the airport, demonstrating Benazir Bhutto's
unprecedented popularity.
Contribution to the Economy
Between the years 1974 and 1976, Bhutto's economic management style reduced the
Planning Commission's role and its capacity to advise political leaders. Access to state
corridors became the primary means of amassing a private fortune as corruption grew
rapidly. This is how leaders of state institutions use public economic intervention "as
a means of expanding their wealth and power." While working to prevent further
nationalism, Bhutto implemented socialist economic policies. Nationalized
immediately were the major heavy mechanical, chemical, and electrical industries, as
well as banks, insurance companies, educational establishments, and other private
organizations. The government has complete control over businesses like KESC. To
reduce the ratio of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, Bhutto replaced
Ayub Khan's state capitalism policies with socialist ones. In addition, Bhutto
established numerous cement factories, including Pakistan Steel Mills, the Heavy
Mechanical Complex (HMC), and Port Qasim. However, after nationalization,
economic growth slowed down, falling from 6.8% per year on average in the 1960s to
4.8% per year in the 1970s. Because the decisions were not based on the market, the
majority of the nationalized units lost money. Distributional objectives were also not
met by the Bhutto government. Neediness and pay disparity expanded contrasted with
the earlier ten years and the pace of expansion expanded, averaging 16% from 1971 to
1977.
